The two games will be played on August 27 and August 28 at the Central Broward Regional Park, Fort Lauderdale.

The Indian cricket board had approved the two T20 international matches earlier this month to connect with fans in different parts of the world and also to develop cricket in the Americas.

BCCI president Anurag Thakur said: "We are delighted to extend our association with Paytm. This will further strengthen partnership with our existing partner and is a testimony to the fact that our partners believe in BCCI's initiative of reaching out to newer audiences and markets."

The secretary of BCCI Ajay Shirke said: "We have always respected our relationship with existing partners. This announcement of Paytm coming on-board reflects the strong bond we share with our partners. We are pleased to extend our association with them."
